Athlon x2 5200 64 bit - not enough for 1080p playback?
#1
Hi there, im experiencing dificults running 1080p videos with this processor and XBMC. With media portal and coreavc, 1080p playback is fine. Is there anything i can do to improve performance with xbmc?

My setup:

Athlon x2 5200 64bit
Gigabyte MA78GM-S2H
3 Gb ram
Windows Vista 64 bits

If your GPU supports DXVA2 try the nightly builds.

Your system should be more than enough.

But it's a waiste of energy and your fans will go loud. So use the nightly builds (with or without DSplayer) they support video playback via your videocard.

That solved the problem Big Grin

I was using a very old xbmc build, and now with dxva2 enabled its barely touching the cpu.
